disabled and don't know where to turn

My name is Joseph De Molfetto, I'm 40 years old. When I was 25 my future was robbed from me due to a severe accident working for private sanitation.

My truck turned over when I hit a pole on Hamilton Ave. in Brooklyn NY. The day was 1/9/91 and there was a storm. It was just six days after my 25th birthday. I was supposed to die or be a vegetable. Well I lived, but I will never be physically or mentally the same again. I'm living on workers compensation from the State Insurance Fund, I get my maximum benefit of $579.14 every two weeks. I have a wife and two kids. Were living with my father which is the only way we can survive. But we would like to be able to have a life of our own with our two daughters, ages 9 and 10 and a half.

I'm having my wife write this for me since my right hand is useless due to the left side of my brain being removed. I go to the hospital for joint diseases at NY university hospital, in Manhattan NY. I'V been a patient of Dr. Orrin Devinsky since I survived the accident,I'm sure many of you have heard of him http://www.neurologychannel.com/nyu/physicians.shtml he is a very well known neurologist. Anyway I'm appealing to any of you reading this, for help. Especially at Christmas time. If you would be so generous any amount from each of you would be better than what we have now. Living in this situation you have no idea how much a collection of a single dollar from a group would help us and put us in a much better position. Will you please help? Thanks Joseph and Lisa De Molfetto 

If you have any questions about my accident or are in a similar situation please feel free to E-mail me at lisa3964@aol.com, or demolfetto@aol.com. I will be happy to answer any questions.

I can't afford a post office box so any donations please send to

Thanks again and hope to hear from you weather you can help or not.

Sincerely,

Joseph

First and foremost I am very embarrassed about posting this on site but i am very desperate and this is actually my last resort. To begin with I am 28 yrs old I just got married to a lovely man on August 3rd he's 25 so were actually just starting out. What's ironic is that our birthdays are on the same day, we married out of love and love alone. Getting to the point about things because i don't want to bore you with a love story, my husband lost his job in November he spend every single day looking for aother one to provide for us while i attend school, he did succeed in finding a job as a corrections officer but had to go through exstensive tests and background checks after successfully completing all of that we are waiting to receive a call back for his start date. In the mean time the bills have fallen behind and we have received an eviction notice,(meaning if we can't pay the rent in about 20 more days we'll have to find somewhere else to stay) The rend is $680 but we have no more money hopefully  this job will come open soon. I have been preying. On top of that my husband had given me a pet palmeranian on our birthday's, I named him Teddy. I did not know that Teddy was sick at the time until about 3 weeks later it seemed as if he had a cold I didn't think anything of it because i thought it would just go away but it has gotten worse. Now he's coughing up cold and going into convulsions, i have no funds to carry him to the vet or to the emergency hospital and they do not have payment plans, so i have no option what so ever to  get him any help but this website. And I'm scared for him because i'm afraid he may die! I can not have any kids and we have adopted teddy as part of the family. If we do not get help soon Hopefully someone will have a kind heart to donate, anything, even $1 will help us along the way. My husband does not know that I am doing this because he would not approve, he has too much pride (ladies we know how men are) but we are in need of your help, i think he will understand that we can get through this with a little help. If i can work for a donation i will be glad to I can type 75wpm so if you need help typing something up or want a resume done please let me know i will be happy to assist in anyway i can.

If you would like to donate or send a personal message please email me at scrisingstar.com and i will send you a link.

Thank you all very much.

I'm writing in hopes,Someone might see this and reply back to me. I don't like the idea of something for nothing,I'm very willing to pay it all back!As a loan,Though,I would only be able to make very small payments. I have always,since I was a very small child had an extreme fear of needles,which has made me overly scared of doctors and dentists.And because of this fear,My teeth have been neglected.I have alot of pain! Recently I was in the emergency room for a sinus infection that would not go away,It had went on for over a month and was not getting any better. The doctor on duty said the infection was from my upper teeth being bad,and that the infection had traveled up into my sinus cavity which is very dangerous because it can continue traveling up into the brain.Which can kill you!I also have a partial that is my top front teeth,this is how my teeth problems all started,The partial has steel wires that wrap around your teeth and eventually those wires ware down your good teeth and cause major problems later.I don't have any back teeth,Upper or lower.they are essential for chewing. and it's very painful and sometimes very humiliating when I'm trying to eat and my partial will not stay in during meals. My health is failing and I'm scared,that one day very soon I won't be able to eat at all! My face has become very thin due to my bad and missing teeth.I'm a small woman anyway,And I'm in my middle forties and sometimes I'm afraid to eat for fear of anymore pain. I've already lost too much weight and do not look as healthy as I would like to look. I also in fear of losing what confidence that I still have left.But mostly,I'm in fear of losing my health!Not having insurance is a death sentence,Because no hospitals and no doctor offices can help you! Even emergency rooms can't help until your on the verge of death,Which by then,it could be too late. They sent me home with antibiotics and said they can't help me,That I would have to find a dentist very soon!I have prayed about this and I will continue to,In the hope's God will send me an Angel to help me to resolve these problems that I'm having. "God Bless Our World " And everyone on it! Especially those who are suffering with tremendous pains and fears.

 

Sincerely, Sarah Elizabeth Othman

I don't either. I felt I was being reasonable, however, I guess they did not feel the same way. I do feel their private message to me does answer a lot of questions for a lot of people.

  2. Or, if you want to start a separate thread - make a new page.

Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.
